By w.h Auden what is the response of the people who see icarus into the sea

1 answer:

6 0

The poem "Musée des beaux arts" by W.H. Auden was written as a response to Pieter Brueghel's "Landscape with the Fall of Icarus".

In this poem, Auden alludes to the human indiference towards other people's misfortune.

In the first section of the poem, Auden shows how humans go around not caring and paying little attention to the suffering in the world. According to Auden, neither children nor animals have enough sympathy to understand someone else's plight. But adults remain uninterested in individual calamity.

In the second section of the poem, Auden refers to Brueghel's paiting, by describing specific images of this dismissal of external suffering. How the ploughman "may" have heard the splash and how, for him, it was not an important failure.

The best way to eliminate wordiness is the following:

The audience gave the guest speaker a standing ovation.

Wordiness is the use of more words than necessary to express an idea. The phrase "to give a standing ovation" already comprises the ideas of "rose up" and "applauded". Thus, they are not necessary in the sentence. Replacing those words with the words "gave the guest speaker a standing ovation" is the right way to eliminate wordiness in that sentence.

Lerok [7]

The answer is B. Tan is presenting the example "limited English", which is just one of many other terms she heard before, to express how bad they seem. Because, when people deem those whose knowledge of the Mother Tongue is not as the native speaker, therefore is limited, they are defining everything as limited, even their speaking perceptions.
